Last week, in yet another familiarly tiresome portrayal of anti-Semitism parading itself as Palestinian "solidarity," students and staff at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) voted to initiate a boycott against all Israeli academic institutions. The vote at one of the United Kingdom's top universities was conducted over the course of a week, and after the announcement late Friday afternoon, partying broke out on the central London campus--along with a request for university authorities to cut their ties to Jerusalem's Hebrew University.
